Anime references in the strangest places
dungeoneer:
I was reading a Star Trek novel today, and early on, the Enterprise receives a Mayday from a ship being boarded (by pirates, maybe?). When they answer the call, they discover that robbery was not the motive, but the entire crew is dead, including the leader, Captain Harlock!
Scudworth:
Is the novel referencing an anime or is the anime referencing the novel?
dungeoneer:
I found reference to the Anime, in the novel, as my topic title said. This Captain Harlock wasn't flying a pirate flag, since he was a member of Starfleet! Role-reversal at its finest! I've been reading a lot of Star Trek lately, over 70 books in last 6 weeks. Another example of inadvertant humor was finding the word 'cannon" misspelled twice on the back cover of one book.

Harlock is older than Star Trek. Harlock first appeared in 1953 while Star Trek was conceived in 1960.

The book I'm reading at the moment keeps talking about people having plastic surgery to get 'manga eyes'. Makes me chuckle
